10th Anniversary 3LP

Hard Believer is the 2014 studio album from FINK: Fin Greenall (vocals/guitar), together with Tim Thornton (drums/guitar) and Guy Whittaker (bass). It was their first release on the R'COUP'D imprint, a label created by Greenall with the backing of the Ninja Tune team.

Recorded in 17 days at Hollywood's legendary Sound Factory studios with producer Billy Bush (Garbage, Beck, Foster the People), Hard Believer is shot through with rawness and controlled aggression; an album replete with calm beginnings seguing into powerfully hypnotic loops and climactic finales. It is a masterful collection of songs from an artist at the peak of his creative powers.

Urban, bluesy, and alive, the album includes the mighty "Shakespeare," a tale of young love gone tragically sour as the mood darkens from acoustic to guttural rock; the spiky yet delicate "Looking Too Closely," riding an irresistible piano-and-guitar groove; "Green and the Blue," on which a vulnerable Greenall meditates on the constants in life that see you through tough times; "Two Days Later," a deeply personal lament and one of only two songs on the record that start and remain down-tempo; and the breathtaking "Pilgrim," a collaboration with songwriter Blair Mackichan, co-writer of "This Is the Thing" from Fink's 2007 Distance and Time, and "Honesty" from 2011's Perfect Darkness.
